“I'm a bit ambivalent here... the nose is great with sweet tropical fruits, vanilla and almonds. On the palate, initially a heavy sweetness with fruit... the longer it lingers on the palate, the more bitter it becomes, from bitter orange to black tea steeped too long. The alcohol bites again later on. The finish is also dominated by bitterness. I'm not really convinced, but it's still young 😎”

“Nice fruit basket with esters and light bitter notes. Still seems relatively young, but I like it very much!”

“Solid young Hampden, light almond tones. Matured shallowly. Alcohol still somewhat rough and unbalanced. Will certainly benefit from longer storage. Too expensive in terms of price.”
